I am using the recaptcha plugin on the reg forms and started getting spam registrations with junk websites where the street address field is located. Any Ideas or does anyone know of a clever way to stop them?

Hello Victor,
If the reCAPTCHA is working correctly then it is likely that these are real people spamming you, in which case there isnt much you can do about it as they can get past spam protections are they are designed to deal with bots (automated systems) not humans.
The only effective way I know of dealing with human spammers is to put things behind a pay wall, as not even spammers will pay to spam you.
One other way is if you know what country/area they are coming from, you could block the IP addresses for that entire region, but that isnt always ideal, especially if your events are international.
